Why doesn't \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift work on more than one note in a measure

2017-07-31 Thread Guy Stalnaker
Hello all, Curious about why \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift only seems to affect the first note of a measure. This snippet shows 3 staves, the first unmodified, the second with the chord shifted left and the e'' shifted right, and the third attempting to shift both e'' and c'' right. But

Great points. Your answers cleared up a few big misconceptions for me. Indeed, LaTeX and lilypond-book will have the final say on integrating and spacing musical systems, so the \newcommand trick was just the right ingredient. Thank you both! On Mon, Jul 31, 2017 at 12:06 PM, Lukas-Fabian

Re: trouble adding space between systems

2017-07-31 Thread Lukas-Fabian Moser
That would be because (as far as I understand) lilypond-book inserts your scores as single images, each containing one system. Hence, the space between systems that Lilypond would use plays no role here; instead, the spacing has to be defined in LaTeX. In my last large document,

Thanks! Your second solution: \paper { system-system-spacing.basic-distance = #20 } is just what I needed. One thing I'm noticing, though, is that when I compile melodies into a chapter using lilypond-book and pdfLaTeX, my specifications for vertical spacing get ignored. In other words, the

Hi Jacobe, Lilypond is a rich and complex application. The manuals and learning material are extensive. There's a vast amount of deep information. It often happens that one can miss a section that may be obvious to other people. It's not fair of anybody on this list to blame you for not being
